Jim Lauderdale - "Not Let You Go" Okay, this song is way creepy in a good way. *shudder* The fiddle licks really sing the song's soul. Just imagine a family isolated in the backwoods of Louisiana, full of superstition, myth, and inbreeding. Then go find this song and listen to it, and be thankful for your education and upbringing. It ain't none of your business The what, why, where and the how But since you've come to trust us I'll tell you the gist of it now You married into the family Knowin' we was secretive Winkin', blinkin', and immolatin' Our rule is to live and let live We will not let you go Trim the candle way down low If someone comes snoopin' 'round this door They won't come snoopin' 'round no more No, we will not let you go Back in old Acadia A hundred and eighty-three years ago Someone died by and act of God Conducted through a lightning rod No one bore witness but the chickens Our kin run off like the dickens Who's to blame is not in question It's a haunted history lesson We will not let you go We will not let you go The husband of the firstborn daughter Each generation is marked for slaughter We will not let you go Left Nova Scotia, once Acadia Settled in south Lou'siana Cold revenge followed us here With lingerin' doubt and livin' fear There's a proud family that won't forget As far as we know, they remember yet Only question I've got for you Are you one of them and if you knew We will not let you go Trim the candle way down low If someone comes snoopin' 'round this door They won't come snoopin' 'round no more No, we will not let you go We will not let you go No, we won't let you go
I can't post the video as it breaks some rules (I believe anyway). But if you want to see and hear one of the greatest vids in the world, check out "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Joe Cocker ....make sure you pull up the one from 9-1/2 weeks.
